DU this poll -- it's worded well.

[grasswire]

This is from the Hollister CA newspaper. The poll is worded interestingly -- better than what CNN cooks up! Needs a little assistance from DU. Look down to the lower right side of the page.

P.S. If it gives you a false "already voted" message, please post here.

Does the John Kerry-John Edwards ticket appeal to you?
Yes, Edwards brings charisma, energy and a solid domestic agenda to the Democratic ticket.

(18.60%)
Yes, but I would have voted for Kerry anyway to oust the current administration.

(39.20%)
No, I worry that Edwards doesn't have enough experience in the foreign policy department or enough political experience to take over as president if need be.

(3.99%)
No, George Bush and Dick Cheney are an experienced team that has the country going in the right direction.

Weird. My wife was born and raised in hollister. Small town.

61. Voted

The total number changed after I clicked on vote, so my guess is that the already voted message comes up as soon as you vote, as a way to keep people from voting more than once.
